Lean On Me

When God Takes Your Crutch Away

Some seasons don’t end neatly before you’re asked to write about them.

For Chris, the crutch was a career he had worked hard to build, the income that made life feel secure, and the sense of identity that came with being able to provide. When that was taken away, he expected the pain to pass, the doors to open, and the testimony to wrap itself in a clean conclusion. Instead, he found himself still waiting, still applying, still wrestling with silence, and still learning what it means to trust God when the story hasn’t turned yet.

Lean On Me is not a book about quick recovery, easy answers, or pretending that faith removes the weight of disappointment. It is an honest walk through what happens when God exposes the thing you’ve been leaning on and invites you to discover whether He is enough while the ground still feels unsteady.

Through Scripture, reflection, and the hard‑earned lessons of an unfinished season, Chris writes for anyone who has lost the thing that made them feel safe, valuable, needed, or in control. This book is for the person who is still in the waiting, still grieving what changed, and still trying to believe that God is present in the silence.

What you were afraid to lose may have been holding up more than you realized. But it was never strong enough to carry what only God was meant to hold.

What you’ll find inside

• An honest, still‑unfolding account of losing the thing that made life feel secure—without a tidy resolution.
• Reflection on what it means to trust God when the story hasn’t turned yet and the waiting hasn’t ended.
• An invitation to discover whether God is enough once every crutch you leaned on has been taken away.
